Download or read book The Birds of the Iberian Peninsula written by Eduardo de Juana and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative title is the definitive avifauna covering the Iberian Peninsula. The Iberian Peninsula is one of Europe's most ornithologically varied regions offering a host of regional specialities. It includes famous birding hotspots such as the Coto Donaña wetlands, mountainous areas such as the Picos de Europa and the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean cork and holm oak forests of the southwest, the migration crossroads of the Strait of Gibraltar and the steppe-like plains of Extremadura and Alentejo. Large numbers of birders from around Europe visit the region to see this wealth of winged wildlife, but to date there has been no comprehensive regional avifauna in English. Birds of the Iberian Peninsula is a national avifauna that fills this gap in the ornithological literature. Full-colour throughout, the book begins with authoritative introductory chapters covering subjects such as geography, climate, habitats, the history of Iberian ornithology and the composition of the avifauna. The species accounts then cover every species recorded in mainland Spain, the Balearic Islands, Portugal, Gibraltar and Andorra, including the many vagrants. For each species there is detailed treatment of distribution – with maps of breeding and wintering ranges – habitat selection, population trends, historical and current status, migration and conservation.

Download or read book The Birds of Africa Volume II written by and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universally recognised as by far the most authoritative work ever published on the subject, The Birds of Africa is a superb multi-contributor reference work, with encyclopaedic species texts, stunning paintings of all species and numerous subspecies, hundreds of informative line drawings, detailed range maps, and extensive bibliographies. Each volume contains an Introduction that brings the reader up to date with the latest developments in African ornithology, including the evolution and biogeography of African birds. Diagnoses of the families and genera, often with superspecies maps, are followed by the comprehensive species accounts themselves. These include descriptions of range and status, field characters, voice, general habits, food, and breeding habits. Full bibliographies, acoustic references, and indexes complete this scholarly work of reference. This second volume in the series deals comprehensively with the guineafowl, francolins, buttonquails, rails, cranes, finfoot, bustards, jacanas, painted-snipe, Crab Plover, oystercatchers, stilits and avocets, thick-knees, coursers and pratincoles, plovers and lapwings, sandpipers and allies, skuas, gulls, terns, skimmers, auks, sandgrouse and pigeons. The editors and artists have worked closely with other authors - all acknowledged experts in their field - to produce a superb reference in which comprehensive texts on every species are complemented by accurate and detailed paintings and drawings of the birds themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un quart de siècle après le dernier atlas des oiseaux nicheurs d'Aquitaine (1987), voici une expertise régionale inédite sur l'évolution et l'état de conservation des populations d'oiseaux de la région Aquitaine (Dordogne, Gironde, Landes, Lot-et-Garonne et Pyrénées-Atlantiques), qui s'appuie sur les résultats d'une enquête allant de 2009 à 2013. L'ambition de ce projet est la connaissance approfondie de l'état actuel du peuplement avifaunistique d'un point de vue qualitatif, quantitatif, mais aussi prospectif. Une première partie, qui vise à affiner les connaissances sur les espèces nicheuses, décline 209 monographies d'oiseaux, du Cygne tuberculé à l'Etourneau unicolore : Répartition en période de reproduction - Habitat et écologie - Historique et tendances des populations - Menaces et perspectives. Cette première partie - commune à tous les atlas ornithologiques - est complétée par une approche quantitative et qualitative permettant la compréhension de l'écologie de l'avifaune régionale. Cette seconde partie, plus atypique, traitée sous forme de questions simples, s'appuie sur des analyses statistiques approfondies. La réalisation de cet ouvrage original est le fruit de l'implication et de la collaboration d'un grand nombre de bénévoles dans l'amélioration de la connaissance sur l'avifaune régionale. Plus d'un millier de passionnés se sont investis sur le terrain à la recherche des indices de reproduction les plus pertinents, dans la rédaction des monographies et lors de réunions d'échanges pour consolider leurs informations sur ce patrimoine naturel si remarquable que représentent les oiseaux nicheurs d'Aquitaine.
Download or read book Les ailes du Sahel written by Le Zwarts and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Living on the Edge' examines the function of the Sahel region of Africa as an important wintering area for long-distance migrant birds. It describes the challenges the birds have to cope with – climate change, of course, and rapid man-made habitat changes related to deforestation, irrigation and reclamation of wetlands. How have all these changes affected the birds, and have birds adapted to these changes? Can we explain the changing numbers of breeding birds in Europe by changes in the Sahel, or vice versa? Winner of the BB/BTO Best Bird Book Award 2010 The Jury commented: "It is a tremendous book in every department. It marks a step-change in our knowledge of the ecology of this critically important region in the European-African migration system and of the many species (familiar to us on their breeding grounds) that winter there. The authors combine the latest scientific information with vivid descriptions of landscapes and animals. Their book is richly illustrated with large numbers of drawings, maps and photographs by acclaimed experts. The wealth of coloured graphics has been particularly well thought out and encourages readers to delve into the figures and learn more about the region, rather than having the (all-too-common) opposite effect. Summing up, the jury praises not just the high quality of the texts, the information and the illustrations, but also the sheer pleasure of reading the book: "One of the key attributes of a good book is to be able to grip the reader's attention and transport him or her to another place. We feel confident that [Living on the edge] will have that effect."

This book was released on 2008-11-27 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work becomes with methodological rigor a part of the innovative proposals for the characterization of the areas at risk of desertification. The complexity of the phenomenon of desertification, which involves extended surfaces in all continents, is one of the most alarming processes of the environmental degradation of our Planet and threatens the health and the living conditions of over a billion of persons. The food crisis, in continuous increase, ask for the world of research to urgently supply reassuring solutions concerning the acquisition of indicators, which are easy to monitor and concur to control the phenomenon in order to fight its acceleration. The constant but different combination that determines the diffusion of deserti- cation in the territories, attributable mostly to climatic changes and the activities of the man, makes our job challenging and complicated, since it varies from region to region. We are aware of all this and therefore we think that the methodological approach of survey of the data is an extremely important element to locate of the phenomenon and to monitor its course. This work, which is characterized for its multi-disciplinary approach, suggests solutions that we wish will quickly find concrete applications at international level.

Download or read book Atlas des oiseaux nicheurs d Auvergne written by LPO Auvergne, and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Atlas des oiseaux nicheurs d'Auvergne recense 184 espèces d'oiseaux nicheurs réguliers et occasionnels de la région Auvergne. Chaque espèce est présentée sous la forme d'une monographie très précise faisant état à ce jour de la répartition régionale, de l'écologie et des habitats, de la phénologie et de la biologie de la reproduction, de l'évolution des populations, des menaces et mesures de conservation de chaque espèce. Les espèces sont présentées selon une classification systématique, mais un index en fin d'ouvrage permettra également au public moins spécialisé d'accéder aisément à la fiche de l'espèce recherchée. Pour chaque monographie (d'une page à 4 pages) : Une carte de répartition régionale précise et lisible (10 x 10 cm) qui signale les nicheurs certains, probables et possibles ; Une carte de fréquence (pour 45 espèces) qui indique par carré régional la fréquence de contact de l'espèce, un diagramme d'altitude (pour 107 espèces) ; Une photo (ou deux) de l'espèce et/ou une photo du milieu où elle niche. C'est, en tout, plus de 450 photographies et près de 350 cartes et graphiques qui figurent dans cet atlas exhaustif, à destination des spécialistes et plus largement de tous les curieux, habitant ou séjournant ponctuellement dans la région Auvergne. L'Atlas des oiseaux nicheurs d'Auvergne est la synthèse de sept années de travail de prospection aux quatre coins de l'Auvergne par plus de 300 observateurs bénévoles. Vitrine du savoir faire de la LPO Auvergne, il est l'oeuvre collective des ornithologues auvergnats, chacun ayant à la mesure de ses disponibilités apporté sa pierre à l'édifice. Un édifice que tous espèrent secrètement aussi voir concourir à la naissance de nouvelles vocations naturalistes. Cet atlas a été coordonné par la Ligue pour la protection des oiseaux, délégation Auvergne, dirigée par Jean-Christophe Gigault. Le coordinateur de l'atlas est Alex Clamens, professeur de biologie à Clermont-Ferrand et très actif au sein de la LPO Auvergne.
